Finebaum’s Going To Tick Off Georgia Fans
February 9th, 2010 ║ Posted By: John Pennington ║ Permalink ║ Tags: Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee
Paul Finebaum of The Mobile Press-Register has posted his latest offering: a commentary on the winning and losing coaches from national signing day.
Gene Chizik gets a thumbs up… and in the process earns predecessor Tommy Tuberville a thumbs down (as though Tuberville never won at Auburn).
Nick Saban gets mocked for his post-signing day speech about commitment. Urban Meyer earns kudos. “Derrick” Dooley draws praise for selling what Lane Kiffin couldn’t — “integrity.”
But it’s Mr. Finebaum’s comments about Mark Richt that will heat up the messageboards and call-in shows today. I know. ‘Cause anytime I suggest that Richt is in trouble (even though I don’t believe he should be), I get blasted by a group of pro-Richt Georgia fans.
Mr. Finebaum, prepare to get blasted for this:
“Mark Richt: Loser. It is time for the fat lady to start clearing her voice for Richt’s career at Georgia. He got punked in the final days, losing players to key rivals. Certainly, Richt’s overall body of work is very impressive — with two SEC titles and a solid reputation. However, two of his biggest rivals — Tennessee and Auburn — are gaining on him and Florida has owned the Bulldogs. Richt can try and shuffle the deck chairs on the Titanic by changing coordinators. But his ship at Georgia appears to be sinking fast.”
No wishy-washiness there, eh?
Can’t wait to hear some Dawg fan blame this one on me. “Well, why did you write about it and link to it?!”
